The law of division from "summary" of The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding by Al Ries,Laura Ries

The law of division highlights the crucial importance of narrowing the focus of a brand in order to achieve success in a crowded marketplace. Brands that try to be all things to all people often end up being nothing to anyone. It is essential for a brand to stand for something specific and meaningful in the minds of consumers. By dividing a market and focusing on a specific niche, a brand can differentiate itself from competitors and create a strong, memorable identity. This law emphasizes the need for brands to avoid entering markets where they will be overshadowed by larger, more established competitors. Instead, brands should seek out smaller, underserved niches where they can establish themselves as leaders. By focusing on a specific segment of the market, a brand can create a stronger connection with its target audience and build a loyal customer base. In today's competitive landscape, it is more important than ever for brands to carve out a distinct position for themselves in the minds of consumers. By dividing the market and focusing on a specific niche, a brand can create a unique identity that sets it apart from competitors. This law serves as a reminder that success in branding comes from clarity and focus, rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
